Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort

Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Room was clean but the refrigerator door was broken prevent it from closing completely so this made it difficult to open the sliding door to the closet for hanging our clothes. The bedding needs improvement. The mattress is not comfortable. Could be more plush. The bed linen was clean but not impressive."

"Very friendly and proactive staff. Easy walk to the beach. That area of Waikiki beach is very walkable with lots to do. The breakfast buffet was a nice bonus - good variety and well stocked. Don’t eat outside if you don’t like birds :)"
